Hi folks.
We are organising a little Android get together in the UK in March of next year. The event is aimed squarely at Android users, and we 'think' it's the only event of it's kind in the UK. It won't be anywhere near as big and fantastic as the Big Android BBQ state side, but we hope it will at least be as much fun.
We have folk coming from the Three UK media team, Tom Mleko the big cheese from Hyperbees, Tha Phlash the incredible icon designer is coming over from Canada, and HTC have stated they will get involved in some form.
The event will take place on Saturday 9th of March at the MadLab in Manchester running from mid-day to 5-6 O'clock with some snacks and drinks. Although we will be having speakers, and possibly workshop/Q & A sessions, the main focus is getting to know the wider Android community. A large number of Android blogging sites have all given their supprt, as have Clove Technology. With a little luck we will have some goodies to give away on the day as well.
If you are interested you can find out more on the website http://www.marchofthedroids.co.uk/, or comment here and I will try and answer any questions you might have.
Even better is if you can offer support/sponsorship in way as every little help is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I'm running a special event around mobile and wireless development in London, UK at the start of April (4th-5th).
Its called "Over the Air" and has a tag line of 48 hours of mobile development. So basically its a chance to spend a weekend learning, experimenting and hacking around with mobile and wireless devices.
I'm already expecting lots of iphone, linux, java, symbian and even adrioid hackers to turn up but whats missing is the XDA/WM community. Hence it would be great if any of you can make it and show off some of the simply stunning things your doing with HTC hardware.
The event is completely free and will take place at Imperial College in Central London, UK. We have discount hotel places for those who are coming from far and already BBC mobile, BBC Backstage, Momo Monday and Vodafone are onboard. We talking to many different companies about running sessions and sponsorship of free data simcards for the 2 days.
So I hope to see some of you there...
If you need any more information or would like to sponsor the event please contact me off list
is it open to anyone?
I know pretty much all there is to know about the devices, but next to nothing about developing, so is it more aimed at developers, or can the normal guys who love their ppc's come along?

Short answer: Yes come along
Long answer: So Over the Air is yes aimed more at the developer community because there is also a developer competition on the last day. But we are really open to people who want to learn or want to learn how to take advantage of their mobile phones or check out the latest in wireless devices. Its 2 days back to back including sleep over or over night hacking. So you may just want to come over for the day tutorials and the competition results on the 2nd day.
Hi All.
Not sure if this is the best place to post, or even if I'm allowed!
I'm looking for a couple of really **** hot Android developers. I'm not looking for an apps developer, I want someone who has worked at kernel level and really knows about the internals of the OS and what makes it tick!
The project is for a small UK based company. Ideally you will be able to live in the UK, but for exceptional candidates, remote working might be offered. The project is scheduled to finish in April 2012, so this could work out to be a very lucrative piece of work.
Day rate: £Negotiable!
If you are interested, please send me an email to mike.roberts at nextpartners co uk or send me a pm.
Many thanks,
M
Hello XDA-devs ---
I'm just trying to get some kind of visible feedback about whether the new Devvy Awards banner Ad is showing up for you in the ad-rotation on the site here. There is a wide banner version, and a square version. If you've seen one at least once, could you please reply and just let me know -- it'll help a lot!
HERE'S WHY
It would help to give me an indication on where and how to spend money to increase developer awareness of the upcoming VOTING for the first (AND LAST) Devvy Awards for the Windows Mobile touchscreen Platform. These awards pay tribute to the killed-off OS that started this whole multi-billion dollar touchscreen phone & tablet industry way back when XDA-developers.com first started as a website formed to help make the HTC "XDA" a more usable phone on Windows Mobile.
XDA-developers.com has very generously donated the running of these ads for the Devvy Awards, and "we" ("we" is actually just 2 people! ) are very grateful for all the support they've given in so many ways.
Here's what the ads look like:
ADS RUN HERE IN GEOGRAPHICAL TERRITORIES OF THE WORLD
Europe, Asia, Africa, South America may all see these Devvy Awards ads more likely than those of us in the USA, due to the targeting of many ads for USA audience, and the heavy Christmas shopping season where many products are being sold. So the statistical instances of USA viewers seeing the ads is way less -- and that's where I live. So I am hoping for some tangible feedback.
They cost a lot to produce. And the purpose was simply to notify people about the upcoming voting. I intend to run the ads elsewhere, and pay for them to run. So, getting your feedback would also really help me to know if it's a good use of my depleting funds.
Right after Christmas, on Dec 27th, the Nominations Period will begin for the 5 other major Operating Systems: Android, iPhone, webOS, Blackberry, and -- though there is really not enough development to warrant it -- WindowsPhone 7. So I plan to run ads at places where developers on these OSs congregate in forums like these.
I appreciate any and all feedback. Please keep this thread bumped up so others can see it. Everything about this is Recognition for developer dedication and hard work. Thanks!

So, as of this writing, is this correct? No one on the entire site has seen either the wider banner or square banner?
...
Hmm, wonder if this is due to most users here using ad-block software so they see no ads at all. I know that is common...
Still... NO ONE at all? I'm not sure if this is true, or if those who have seen it just don't see this thread.
Topic 1 of 2:
Santa Wrecked the Devvys Site - Damn Him
SANTA MESSED UP HIS GPS USING SAMSUNG GALAXY, *TOTALLY* MISSED THE NORTH POLE, WENT ON A DRUNKEN BINGE, AND WRECKED OUR SITE, and about 150 others on his path....
So Look for Windows Mobile voting on Friday.
$%$^&# Santa! Why can't he leave working things alone? Rudolph and the reindeer have performed flawlessly all these years, but even Santa falls for the hype and gets the Nexus S --- all messed up: http://devvyawards.com
Topic 2 of 2:
THE DEVVY AWARDS BANNER ADS on this site:
So, did anyone at all, in any country, anywhere on XDA, at any time of day, at any point at all, see a Devvy Awards ad? I ask because I spent about $5000 to get them made and they took an enormous amount of time, and the whole purpose is not commercial -- but rather to alert people to the voting for Devvy Awards.
It's hard to complain since, when I inquired about the price a few months ago, XDA offered to donate the ad runs --- which is absolutely wonderful and generous. And yet, at the end of the day, if they didn't end up running at all, then that killled my entire effort, which was enormous, to make it known throughout the site about the awards, which are a day away from voting for Windows Mobile -- and then on December 31st, Nominations begin for all 5 of the major Touchscreen operating systems OTHER than windows mobile:
ANDROID
iOS
webOS
BLACKBERRY
WINDOWS PHONE 7 (though they really do not merit any awards for 2010; not enough development).
*** I am probably going to add SYMBIAN... it's getting new life via NOKIA, and they have largest market penetration of all. Any thoughts?
THOSE NOMINATIONS WILL ALL HAPPEN AT SAME TIME and in much more sophisticated way that WinMo happened here at XDA site earlier this year. They will be web form based, and specific to each touchscreen OS. We have a social media team that is going to work all the major development forums to make sure developers know about the nominations so they nominate their own works/apps. These nominations will run for 5 weeks, thus, all through month om January 2011.
thanks!

Hi there.
I work for the NHS as a community nurse but found that this is no longer what i wanted. Ever since my real passion is tech & gadgets in particular PCs, tablets & smartphones. I like selling them and giving advice to people before they buy them. I'm currently a seller on Amazon and Ebay but i only have a few items in there and would be very impractical as a source of income for my monthly things. Besides me and my wife have many plans and living in London ain't cheap.
If i have a regular job in-stores or act as an online or telephone adviser that might be more better and more practical. I know its not totally what i have finished in college but at least its something of a passion and what i really want doing. Don't get me wrong. Visiting patients and talking to them and doing what you are supposed to do is nice. I work from 0830 till 1630pm. But i'm in my late 30's and i need to be somehwere where i am "relaxed" and comfy on what i do. And i fell "at home" with tech & gadgets.
I also have this idea of creating apps for Android (or iOS) but with a very stiff competition it has to be niche and caters to very specific demographics, etc.
Any advice on how or where to start please?
Hello everyone!
I want to keep it shortly since i am not that well right now...
My Name is Marius (29Yo), i am playing with Android since 2010 and i wanted to start a Android Company for many Years, which produces not only an Android Operating System and everything tied to it, but also Devices made for it. I came to the conclusion Germany seems to be pretty un-supportive with Start-Ups the past Years and it's pretty clear that they will not grant me any Support with it in any way. Being a Person with a Vision isn't something People want to see over here how it seems... I talked to many People around the World and came to the Point where i have to admit i am done. I got Diabetes Melitus in the age of 8 (Which punishes Me hard right now) and i got some other, bigger Problems with My Health the last Years. I am tired, sick and i don't have that much energy and Money left. Things get more and more frustrating, some People even started hating Me for Reasons... I am stuck!
But... What's the Point of telling You that?
I need Your Help!
I am opening My Repo for the Public now and i want to invite everyone who is interested in building Android (AOSP)!
What am i providing?
Well, call it Scripts, an Build A.I. or whatever You want. At the end it does just automate building Android for You. On a creative, simple and interactive Way. Understand how Android can be modified, do changes locally and on your own with ease. Include Apps, Configs, Mods and whatever You want...
Why?
I am lazy... No really. Why are we wasting time with setting up the same Things over and over again!? Safe some lifetime and automate what You can!
What?
Check out My Repo down below. It's made for Pixel 7 and 7 Pro right now but i managed to create Bootloops on My 7 Pro. That's where we should start off again...
Next?
I want a Team that shares My Vision of Android Devices! I am ready to put My Skills into any ambitious Project. But... I still want to do Smartphones, XR Headsets, Tablets, Speakers and Watches. How? The Time will tell...

I have pushed a lot of effort, sweat and blood in that. Please be kind if You think something is stupid!
I don't wanna leave the Earth without having shared the Project i worked on for so long. It could be My last Project and i always have that in my Mind these Days! Hope it will make some People happy as it made me developing it...
Reserved for future use
Thank you for working on this project and for sharing it with all of us! It is a shame that Germany isn't supportive for start-ups. I mean, I'm part German myself and only recently realized that most of the products that I purchase started in or were manufactured in Germany! Whether it's pens, computer mice or watches - they all started in Germany (rOtring, Zaunkoenig, Sinn, etc)! So, it certainly seems like being supportive of start-ups there would be good idea that would likely lead to even more great German creations!
Thank you again and I wish you the best of luck with your health! I too am in a similar boat and have had health issues that started ever since I had a severe traumatic brain injury and was unconscious for months.....only to be given the "risky due to my health status at the time" COVID-19 vaccinations immediately after returning back to a more conscious state...
Depression and a large sum of internal, personal hatred reigns sky-high for me nowadays possibly because of these things. But, I always try to keep my head high and to persuade myself to keep looking forward to what comes next. Although it is difficult, I always try my best. So, I seriously do wish you the best with your health. I think that you got what it takes and can move forward positively! I hope that it all works out =D. I believe in you.
Looks like a great idea mate, following along and wishing you the best of luck. I'll give it a try on the weekend.
All the best

Really looking forward to that! Feel free to ask Me anything at any Time!
Google just fixed a bug regarding eSIM not activating in some cases (June Update). Think that will fix it on DIOS too since i am using forked Pixel Firmwares. Glad that happend. Now i just have to find out what causes the Bootloops. I have reverted all of My Edits so far but still get Bootloops and even a non starting System. Think it's time for a fresh Setup...
